A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL
FOR GRADING IN ORDER TO ENLARGE A PATIO
AND TO CONSTRUCT A RETAINING WALL AND
DETACHED TRELLISES IN ZONING CASE NO. 679
AT 16 CINCHRING ROAD (LOT 21-CH),
(WALLACE).
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2004-04, which is attached, on
February 17, 2004 at their regular meeting granting a request for a Site Plan Review for
grading and construction of a retaining wall, patio and detached trellises. The vote was
3-0-2. Commissioner Hankins abstained due to the proximity of her property to subject
site and Commissioner Sommer abstained due to his relationship with the property
owner.
2. The applicants request a Site Plan Review to grade an approximate 1,000 square
foot area located behind the existing residence to enlarge a patio, construct a retaining
wall that varies in height from 4 feet to 8 feet, and construct 570 square feet of detached
trellises, which includes a gazebo and a 64 square foot spa. According to the RHCA
Manager, the RHCA Architectural Committee does not review requests for walls alone,
as the proposed wall is what is considered an "internal wall" and is incorporated as
part of the overall deck and pool construction. The Architectural Committee will,
however, review an overall landscaping design for the pool area, which includes the
landscaping, spa, gazebo trellises and the wall.
3. The property is zoned RAS-1 and is 2.05 acres (gross) in size. The net lot area for
development purposes is 69,000 square feet, (1.58 acres). The residence was recently

damaged by fire. The applicants received an administrative approval to rebuild the
house within the footprint of the damaged residence and to add 926 square feet to the
residence. A Site Plan Review is not required for rebuilding a home, which was
damaged or destroyed by fire or for addition of less than 1,000 square feet or not
exceeding 25% of the size of the structure. The reconstruction is currently in progress.
Pursuant to Section 17.46.020(3) of the Zoning Code a Site Plan Review is required for
"the expansion, modification, alteration or repair of any existing building or structure,
which either requires a grading permit or increases the size of the building or structure
by at least one thousand square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of the
building or structure by more than 25% in any thirty-six month period"
4. The existing north side of the pool deck is currently 4 feet wide. The applicants
propose to widen it to ten feet, and to move the existing retaining wall ten feet further
away from the pool deck. The wall will only be visible from the applicant's property. A
stone veneer matching the residence will be applied and trellises will be constructed. To
control erosion, a concrete swale will be constructed along the top of the retaining wall.
5. The property, once rebuild, will contain a 4,581 square foot residence (prior to
the fire damage, the residence was 3,655 square feet), 64 square foot spa, 570 square feet
of new trellises and 375 square feet of covered porches. The property is also developed
with 625 square foot detached garage, 576 square foot pool, 140 square foot pond, 96
square feet service yard and 153 square feet storage area, which will remain. There will
be a total of 7,180 square feet of structures on the lot, not including the future stable.
6. An area for a future 450 square foot stable and 550 square foot corral has been set
aside in the rear of the garage. There exists a level pad above the garage area.
7. Grading for the project will require 169 cubic yards of cut soil and 169 cubic
yards of fill, which will be balanced on site. The disturbed area of the lot will be 38.4%
or 26,500 square feet of the net lot area, (maximum permitted 40%). 37.2% of the net lot
has already been disturbed.
8. The net lot area of the lot is 69,000 square feet. By enlarging the patio area, the
size of the building pad increases slightly. The existing building pad is 23,500 square
feet. The proposed building pad will be 24,551 square feet. Building pad coverage on
this pad is proposed to be 7,630 square feet or 31.07%, which includes the future stable.
9. The structural net lot coverage proposed is 7,630 square feet or 11.05%, which
includes the residence, garage, pool, service yard, trellises, gazebo, porches, pond,
storage area and future stable, (20% permitted). Currently, with the proposed 926
square foot addition the structural coverage is 8.9%.
10. The total lot coverage proposed including all of the structures and paved areas is
13,786 square feet or 20.0%, (35% permitted). Currently, with the proposed addition to
the residence the total net lot coverage is 15.2%.
11. Records show that the house and detached garage were built in 1947. An
addition was built in 1952 and the swimming pool was built in 1954.

12. As part of the administrative approval for the addition it is required that the
utilities to the residence are placed underground.
13 The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

RESOLUTION NO. 2004-04
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW
APPROVAL FOR GRADING IN ORDER TO ENLARGE A PATIO
AND TO CONSTRUCT A RETAINING WALL AND DETACHED
TRELLISES IN ZONING CASE NO. 679 AT 16 CINCHRING ROAD
(LOT 21-CH), (WALLACE).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wallace with
respect to real property located at 16 Cinchring Road, (Lot 21-CH), Rolling Hills,
CA requesting a Site Plan Review to permit grading to enlarge a patio area, to
construct a retaining wall not to exceed 8 feet in height and to construct detached
trellises.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public
hearings to consider the application on December 16, 2003 and January 20, 2004.
The field trip public hearing was cancelled due to lack of quorum. However,
each Commissioner visited the subject project with the Planning Director
separately. The applicants were notified of the public hearings in writing by first
class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in
affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and the Planning
Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The
applicants' representative was in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as
a Class 4 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be
submitted for Site Plan Review and approval before any grading requiring a
grading permit or any building or structure may be constructed or any
expansion, addition, alteration or repair to existing buildings may be made
which involve changes to grading or an increase to the size of the building or
structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of
the building by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month
period. With respect to the Site Plan Review application requesting grading and
a new wall, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan,
the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed grading,
trellises and wall will not alter the General Plan requirement of low profile, low -
density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding
structures. The project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage

requirements. The graded area will not exceed 1,000 square feet of cut and 1,000
square feet of fill. The proposed wall will be located along the rear yard setback,
but will not encroach into the setback. The proposed project is not visible from
the road. The disturbed area of the lot will be 38.4%, which is within the 40%
maximum permitted, and includes the future stable.
B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new
wall and trellises will not cause the lot to look overdeveloped. Significant
portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the
property. The, existing vegetation on the parcel will remain and will screen the
enlarged patio and wall from the neighbors. The nature, condition, and
development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of
the lot have been considered, and the grading and construction of the wall and
trellises will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent
uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed development will be located
on a portion of the lot which is the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will
be screened and landscaped, is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so
that the proposed construction will not impact the view or privacy of
surrounding neighbors, and will substantially utilize the existing building pad
for the new construction.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale
and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. The lot
coverage maximum set forth in the Zoning Code will not be exceeded and the
proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood.
D. The development plan incorporates existing trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. The enlargement of the patio and the
construction of the wall and trellises will not deter from the rural character of the
community.
E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to
minimize grading and retain the natural drainage courses. Grading for this
project will involve 169 cubic yards of cut and 169 cubic yards of fill and will be
balanced on site.
F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the
proposed development does not later the existing circulation.
G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is exempt.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case
No. 679 for grading to enlarge a patio and to construct a retaining wall and
detached trellises as shown on the Development Plan dated December 9, 2003,
and marked Exhibit A, subject to the following conditions:

DECEMBER 6, 2003
Request for a Site Plan Review for grading to enlarge a patio and to construct a
retaining wall and detached trellises at an existing single family residence.
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission visited the subject property on January 17, 2004.
2. The applicants request a Site Plan Review to grade approximately 1,000 square
feet of area located behind an existing residence to enlarge a patio area, to construct a
retaining wall that varies in height form 4 feet to 8 feet, to construct 570 square feet of
detached trellises, which includes a gazebo and a 64 square foot spa. According to the
RHCA Manager, the RHCA Architectural Committee will not review this project, as the
proposed wall is what is considered an "internal wall" and is incorporated as part of the
overall deck and pool construction. The Architectural Committee will review an overall
landscape design for the pool area.
3. The property is zoned RAS-1 and is 2.05 acres (gross) in size. The net lot area for
development purposes is 69,000 square feet, (1.58 acres). The residence was recently
damaged by fire. The applicants received an administrative approval to rebuild the
house within the footprint of the damaged residence and to add 926 square feet to the
residence. A Site Plan Review is not required for rebuilding a home, which was
damaged or destroyed by fire or for addition of less than 1,000 square feet. In addition
the spa, and the gazebo would also be approved administratively. The reconstruction
and addition is currently in progress.
Pursuant to Section 17.46.020(3) of the Zoning Code a Site Plan Review is required for
"the expansion, modification, alteration or repair of any existing building or structure,
ZC No. 679
P1ng.Comm.1 /20/04

•
which either requires a grading permit or increases the size of the building or structure
by at least one thousand square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of the
building or structure by more than 25% in any thirty-six month period"
4. The existing north side of the pool deck is currently 4 feet wide. The applicants
propose to widen it to ten feet, and to move the existing retaining wall ten feet further
away from the pool deck. The portion behind the retaining wall will be landscaped. A
stone veneer matching the residence'will be applied and trellises will be constructed. To
control erosion, a concrete swale will be constructed along the top portion of the
retaining wall.
5. The property, once rebuild, will contain a 4,581 square foot residence (prior to
the fire damage, the residence was 3,655 square feet), 64 square foot spa, 570 square feet
of new trellises and 375 square feet of covered porches. The property is also developed
with 625, square foot detached garage, 576 square foot pool, 140 square foot pond, 96
square feet service yard and 153 square feet storage area, which will remain. There will
be a total of 7,180 square feet of structures on the lot, not including the future stable.
6. An area for a future 450 square foot stable and 550 square foot corral is proposed
in the rear of the garage. There exists a large, 510 square foot, service/patio area behind
the detached garage. The applicants propose to located the future stable on portion of
this area and retain a minimum of 96 square feet (as required by the RHCA) for service
yard. The corral would be located a minimum of 25 feet from the rear property line, and
would be adjacent to the stable.
7. Grading for the project will require 169 cubic yards of cut soil and 169 cubic
yards of fill, which will be balanced on site. The disturbed area of the lot will be 38.4%
or 26,500 square feet of the net lot area, (maximum permitted 40%). 37.2% of the net lot
has already been disturbed.
8. The net lot area of the lot is 69,000 square feet. By enlarging the patio area, the
size of the building pad increases slightly. The existing building pad is 23,500 square
feet. The proposed building pad will be 24,551 square feet. Building pad coverage on
this pad is proposed to be 7,630 square feet or 31.07%, which includes the future stable.
When calculating all of the structures on the lot prior to the fire damage and without
the additions to the residence, the building pad coverage was 22.3%. With the
administratively approved addition, the building pad coverage would be 26.2%.
9. The structural net lot coverage proposed is 7,630 square feet or 11.05%, which
includes the residence, garage, pool, service yard, trellises, gazebo, porches, pond,
storage area and future stable, (20% permitted); Currently, without the administrative
approval of the addition, the structural coverage is 7.6%, and with the proposed 926
sq.ft. addition the structural coverage would be 8.9%.
10. The total lot coverage proposed including all of the structures and paved areas is
13,786 square feet or 20.0%, (35% permitted). Currently, without the administrative
approval of 926 sq.ft. addition the total net lot coverage is 13.86%. With the proposed
addition to the residence the total net lot coverage would be 15.2%.
ZC No. 679 2
P1ng.Comm.1 /20/04

11. Records show that the house and detached garage were built in 1947. An
addition was built in 1952 and the swimming pool was built in 1954.
12. As part of the administrative approval for the addition it is required that the
utilities to the residence are placed underground.
13 The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the report, take public
testimony and provide direction to staff.
